​When we say we help women get into tech, we really do help women get into tech. We run a social enterprise that directly helps women to overcome one of the single biggest barriers to entering the tech industry - education.​We want to change society and the face of the UK economy by teaching 20,000 women how to code for free by the end of 2020.

Read about the campaign:

​Why does this matter?

​In 2017, female Programmers and software developer made up only 3.9% of tech and telco professionals in the UK.​That number is down from 10% in 2007*.​We are already creating biased tech foundations for our future society; search engines that don’t associate women with leadership, voice recognition software that doesn’t recognise female voices. We want to build a better society for all.

What have Code First: Girls achieved already?

​Over the past 3 years we’ve taught 5000+ women how to code for free. We’ve delivered £2.5 million worth of free coding education

Our alumnae have been hired by companies ranging from Accenture and The Guardian to Thoughtworks and NASA.

And what we want to do now is amplify the great work we’ve already done, and - with your help - flood the UK with female tech talent.

​The question we want you to ask yourself now is - do you want to join us to really make a difference?​

How will this make a difference?

To put that into perspective, in the UK in 2016, there was a total of 26,845 university students accepted onto a computer science course. Of those, only 3,775 (14%) were women**.

Can you begin to imagine what UK digital industries would look like with 20,000 more women who understand coding, technology, and how they can make an impact on the success of our companies?

That’s 20,000 more women who aren’t held back from taking jobs in our fastest growing industry sector (3x faster growth in digital than in the wider economy).

20,000 more tech savvy women creating better products and services, becoming tech entrepreneurs, and helping the UK to remain at the forefront of the global tech industry.

​20,000 more tech savvy women acting as mentors and leaders within our businesses going forward, helping to support and nurture other young men and women for generations to come.

By teaching 20,000 more women to code, we think we can change the landscape of the UK economy.

To do this, we need your help to us raise £1.5 million.

That’s £75 per woman to change the UK digital economy and society for the better for all for the decades to come.
